“Megan has truly been a life saver! This is my dog Sage’s second long stay with Megan and her family and Sage has been doing great and she loves it! She has been socializing very well with her two dogs and her family. Her anxiety has gotten better with every stay. Megan always keeps us updated with plenty of text and pictures. I will definitely be booking again soon. I highly recommend Megan. -Ross Family”
“Martina is always such a very big help when I need fur baby assistance! She is very good at communicating with me to set up service and does a great job of keeping me informed of his activities during her visit! Great service and and even better service provider! Book today!”
“Julie and Kenneth were wonderful with our miniature schnauzer, River! We received updates with pictures on how she was doing throughout her stay with them, and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving her with this wonderful family! Highly recommend!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! My husband and I recently moved to the area and were in need of a sitter on very short notice. Amber and Dane were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and immediately made us feel comfortable leaving our pup in their care. Prior to drop-off, our dog developed a hot spot on his neck and had been placed in a cone and started on antibiotics by the vet. Amber and Dane were extremely knowledgeable and attentive when it came to caring for a dog with additional medical needs, and they kept me updated throughout his stay on how he was doing and healing. They were also incredibly understanding and supportive during our transition into a new area, which meant so much to us. On top of that, they have three beautiful dogs of their own, and my Frenchie absolutely loved being around them. You can truly tell they care deeply about animals, and they’ve absolutely turned us into long-term returning clients.”
“Kathleen took exceptional care of my fur baby this past weekend. She helped my boy acclimate with her two fur babies and sent me a lot of pictures of them playing together. Kathleen had the presence of mind to ask if fireworks bother him (NYE weekend) and gave him the medication we provided to aid Oliver a little. I will book with Kathleen again, it was a very positive first time experience with Rover.”
“I'm very picky about who I'll leave my 13-year old pup with. Michelle definitely put my mind at ease with her professionalism and expertise in caring for senior dogs. She is clearly committed to providing exceptional care for our 4-legged family members. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Nicholas was an absolute blessing! He accepted watching Buffy on very short notice and went above and beyond from start to finish. He made sure Buffy was well cared for by taking her on walks, giving her plenty of attention, and keeping us updated with constant texts, photos, and videos. He even put an AirTag on Buffy while we were away, which gave us even more peace of mind. This was our first time using the app, and Nicholas exceeded every expectation. We never had to worry about Buffy for a second because we knew she was in great hands. Thank you for everything, Nicholas! If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. We will definitely book with you again!”
“Choose Geneive when you want your dog to be loved and expertly cared for! This was our first time using Rover and we are so happy with the choice we made. Our dog, Kirby, had a fun, safe stay. Geneive’a dog, Lady, was very friendly with him and they enjoyed walks along with visits to the dog park. We received lots of photos and updates which helped us to relax and enjoy our time away.”
“We are a repeat customer...Best puppy sitters ever! We didn’t have a care in the world and no doubt that our Monte was being well taken care of! And, we constantly received pictures which was a plus❤️ We will definitely stick with Rachel and Andrew.”
“Beth took great care of Max and sent updates throughout the entire stay. It looks like Max enjoyed his stay and we will definitely be booking again! Thank you, Beth!”
“Shayla was a Godsend that I found last minute on Rover. She accommodated me last minute asking to watch my pup for 7 days during the TG holiday. She gave me updates before I could even ask and sent pictures. Updating me on anything concerning my pup. I jokingly told her that he looks like he doesn’t even miss me haha. Such a warm and caring Petsitter. I have told all my friends that have fur babies and I will be back myself. Thanks again Shayla for your last minute help and making my pup felt right at home!!! So appreciated.”
About: I treat every pet like a member of my own family. Whether I'm caring for dogs, cats, or other small pets, my priority is providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you're away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and kittens, adult pets, and seniors who require extra patience and attention. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, administering oral medications, maintaining exercise routines, cleaning litter boxes and enclosures, and providing companionship tailored to each pet's personality. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I take the time to learn their routine and preferences. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet cuddles, or simply keeping their normal schedule, I'll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of affection, and close attention to their well-being. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, and I'm available every day of the week. The only exception is Sabbath mornings from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., (no drop at this time) when I have a prior commitment. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable pet care, including walks, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, and overnight care. I always make time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs to help pets feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the home and the pet's established routine. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, companionship, and plenty of love. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being and will immediately communicate with the owner if I notice anything unusual. I believe trust is built through reliable care and clear communication, so I provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they're away.
“Great experience!! Will definitely use her services again! Communication was amazing, she did daily updates to include pictures. Very trustworthy! Thanks for taking care of our fur baby and your flexibility.”

“Jordan was fantastic, and I would highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs! She took care of my 2 cats while I was out of town for the week. Great pictures and updates were provided, and she kept me informed of everything that was going on with them. She also took the time to meet my cats and to see where all of their supplies are kept before we left for vacation. It was wonderful peace of mind to know they were so well taken care of by Jordan while we were away.”
“Teresa was amazing! She took wonderful care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. She was very thorough with documenting her visits, which I very much appreciated, and the pics/videos she sent made me so happy! She was so sweet with our elderly/special needs kitty and was very precise about giving medication. During the meet & greet, she instantly connected with our cats (well, at least with the one that didn't hide under the couch) and was very patient with the shy one. You can tell she truly loves and understands cats!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my baby. We foubd out that he diabetes shortly before the schedueld trip. Nugget was in good hands and recieved his meds in a timely manner. Lots of pictures and videos were sent. Thank you again.”
“Christa was a wonderful sitter for our cat! She was very thorough in her care and communication. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet!”
“Miranda was wonderful at taking care of my cat and two rats while we were traveling! She was able to handle last minute medication needs with ease and was very understanding of my cat’s cattitude while he was missing us. She did a wonderful job of communicating with us throughout our trip as well!”
“Abby is very thorough and took great care of my cat for the weekend! She provides great information and pictures during her check in! I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“We booked Kylie again for our fur babies for a quick weekend getaway, and we are just as happy as our first booking with her. Kylie communicates well, is punctual, and always checking in with us. One of our cats is diabetic and I have zero worries with Kylie, and she has been a breath of fresh air when it comes to looking after our babies and being able to enjoy our trips. I highly recommend her services. She’s a keeper for sure! Thanks Kylie P!”
“Stephanie was always on time and very interactive with our kitties, sent daily photos, and is personable, pleasant and professional. It's been a pleasure dealing with her. Stephanie gave us peace of mind while we were away on vacation, and she was a great help to my elderly mother in feeding the cats and scooping the litter boxes. We would definitely book Stephanie again!”

Helping with your pets helps me be happy:) I am a PA student and I have classes from 10-3 most days. I am available to check in before or after class at anytime. I also am available weekends as well.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of professional experience working in animal shelters and caring for animals of all personalities and needs. As a cat owner myself, I understand that every cat is unique—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence and care on their own terms. I currently share my home with two cats, so I know how important it is to have someone reliable checking in while you're away. During visits, I'll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention, playtime, or cuddles if they want it. I'm also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're gone. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care for your feline family members. Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or independent, I'll treat them with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your cat!
“Symone was fantastic! She is so kind and so good with cats, gave me updates in the rover notes and made sure my kitty had company and love. She also took great care of my apartment and was lovely to communicate with. I would highly recommend Symone, she’s wonderful to work with :)”
About: I have had cats throughout my whole life. I found and rescued my current three cats. They’re the most cuddly, friendliest cats I’ve ever had. I have also had the feisty type cats in the past. I am down for the ride and willing to take care of all the different personalities cats can have.
“Myrna has been so reliable and communicative watching my buddies! She is very detailed in her reports back and is very conscientious when watching your pets. I will be recommending Myrna to friends and will certainly ask for her help in the future!”
“Kess is just wonderful, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for your pet like her own while you’re away! She is detail oriented and patient. My cat, who is typically quite anxious, warmed up to her right away :) She also sends such lovely, detailed messages and cute photos. Will absolutely continue reaching out to her in the future for help when I’m away!”

About: I have had 1-2 dogs in my home for the last 20 years, and have spent hundreds of hours at dog parks, with other pet owners, and learning best pet parenting practices. As a teacher of 25 years, I can roll in my patience, reliability, and flexibility from my career as well as my own pet experiences. I am training my teen daughter to assist me, so, together, we can offer THE best care around the clock. Your dog or cat will appreciate how he or she will be carefully handled whether it's for dog walking, pet sitting, or boarding. I look forward to meeting your fur baby! As a teacher who works 50% of the day teaching online from home, I am only gone a maximum of four hours a day on weekdays and I am off on summers, holidays, and weekends. This allows me to spend a good deal of my time doing something I love: taking care of pets. Now, my teen daughter who wants to become a zoologist is also stepping up to help give every furbaby maximum attention! I spoil dogs, allowing them on couches and in beds; have a large, enclosed porch with lots of doggy lounge areas; live on the Elizabeth River Trail for long dog walks; and am walking distance from a super nice dog park. If sitting them at their home, I am sure to follow all owner instructions and to treat their pets like they were my own to include lots of chats, pets, and snuggles!
About: I have one small 3 legged rescue and just adopted another rescue September 2025 who is recovering from being hit by a car. Both are chihuahua s Prior to moving to Virginia I fostered both cats and dogs. I was known as a foster failure since I adopted many of my fosters and at one time I had 8 dogs. I love all animal but have a special place in my heart for dogs. I am retired and have lots of time on my hands and would love to spend some time with your dog when you are not able to. I will treat them as if they were mine9. I have two small dog that does fine with other dogs. My yard is fenced and secure. I believe dogs belong in the house since they are part of the family.
About: Hi! I've been operating on Rover for about 5 years now! I've had dogs for as long as I can remember and love being around them. I have experience with all sizes of dogs from Papillons to German Shepards. I am accepting of all breeds, sizes and ages. I've had several dogs with allergies and other health issues, so I am experienced in giving medications, applying any topicals, and noticing any developing symptoms. I also have lots of experience with cats and even have one of my own with medical issues, so I would love to do drop ins for your feline friends! I am currently a student at Eastern Virginia Medical School and am in my last year so my schedule can be somewhat variable. However for the next few months I will be available for mid-day walks/cat visits! I have a 7 year old Pit Bull Terrier that absolutely loves all other animals and can adjust his play style according to other dogs sizes. I also have a small fenced in outdoor patio where your dogs can relax outside with some sun in between walks. I live alone so there won't be too much stimulation from others, and there's plenty of space for your pup to take some time to their selves if needed.
About: Genuinely love and care for fur-babies. Have had a ton of experience with farm animals and domestic with a genuine compassion for all.

“Anna has been taking fantastic care of our Samoyed every Tuesday for a couple months now. Her kids play with him and he is never happier than when we pull up to her house. I’m so glad we found Anna. Cannot recommend more highly.”
About: I love dogs of all sizes and ages! My family recently lost our pitbull, Emma, who was 7 years old, so my mom has temporarily kidnapped my Chihuahua so the house doesn't feel so lonely. Now my house feels a little too quiet without her around. I am loving, caring, trustworthy, and responsible! Your pet is free to roam around the house with me, and I'll make sure they feel comfortable and at home. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, to dog parks, on car rides, to the beach, and anywhere they can have fun and enjoy themselves (with your permission, of course). I like to keep dog parents updated with pictures & texts throughout their pet's stay. I understand that every dog has their own personality and unique needs, and I am committed to giving them the very best care while providing you with peace of mind. I will make sure your pet feels welcomed, loved, and right at home here! I work from home, so I'll be with your doggie for most of the day. The only time they'll be home alone is when I run errands. I care for pets in a safe, loving home with a fenced yard where they can play and get fresh air. They are treated like my own. I follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I also send regular updates with photos and messages.
About: **Work from Home** **Please message if you have more than 2 dogs for special pricing** I am very much a helicopter mom to all of my fur babies. I will care for yours the exact same as I would my own. Being someone you can trust with your family member while you are at work or away from home is my goal. I have fostered for a trusted animal rescue and screened for potential adopters as well! I work from home so I will have plenty of time to go on walks, play and let them out for potty breaks. I make sure your pup stays on their “at home” schedule to keep them comfy and relaxed during their stay. I have a fenced in yard and a clean home with nothing laying around on the floors. Your baby will have their own space (with or without crate) and will be cared for like they are my own.

They are free to roam the house and go on the furniture. I love sending lots of pictures and updates because I know how difficult it is to be away from your "baby". If your pet has any special bedding or toys, feel free to bring them along with you so your pet can feel even more at home. I look forward to spoiling and loving your furry family member while you're away. I live only a few miles away from the Norfolk International Airport and am only a few miles away from the entrance to I 64. I am very close to downtown Norfolk and Ghent.

“Morgan was so easy to work with and such a kind individual! This is my first time using a dog walking service. My dog is very shy and timid in nature, but Morgan was very calm and patient with him and also very reassuring towards me regarding my concerns with his fearfulness. Will certainly use her again in the future!”

I genuinely love spending time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities.

I stick closely to your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a kid, including family and friends' dogs from puppyhood to adulthood, cats, birds, fish and the occasional reptile! I find myself free for the summer before starting a new job in the fall-which means I can be there when you need me. Feel free to call, text, or email! I'm almost completely free between now and the last week in August, so my schedule can be supremely flexible to accommodate your needs and those of your pet! As a homeowner myself, I take watching and caring for your home as seriously as I do your pet. That means strict adherence to your instructions, rules, and boundaries, and clear communication with you.
“Nothing but positive things to say. I reached out for some help walking my dog a couple times a day during the week before a holiday weekend when boarding and daycares were booked. My dog came home after each walk tired, happy and sporting a silly grin. By the 2nd day, he was barking and wagging his tail in anticipation instead of alerting to strangers. By the 3rd day he was whining waiting by the door. Needless to say, he made a new friend and everyone is super happy.”
About: I have five years of pet-sitting and house-sitting experience as a form of income, but I have been a pet owner and lover of animals for my entire life! Friends, neighbors, and colleagues have hired me by word of mouth, so pleased with the level of care I provide to their home and/or fur-baby. I currently work full-time, Mon-Fri with late afternoon (starting at 3pm) and full weekend availability. I have two cats that I love and care for with all my heart. While I make coffee, I obey their need for a morning treat and roll up the window blinds so they can watch the birds as the sun rises. Our morning routine. I go to work, come home, and give them all of my attention. I care for my clients’ pets in their preferred way, with whatever is relayed to me. Then I always add a little extra love and care. I make sure to know any allergies, places or animals to avoid on walks, and preferred discipline strategies. When I am house-sitting, I follow the instructions handed to me while being sure to make it seem as though I was never there upon my departure. Clean, cozy, and better than when you left it.
About: I have had dogs my entire life. From every size and breed, from Beagle to Pitbull-Mastiff mix. Imagine your anxious dog when you get home from work, super ready for a long walk... well that's me. I am a pediatric psych nurse at CHKD so I get home from work and can't sit and relax on the couch. So dog walking or sitting would help to tucker me and your dog out! If you have a strict schedule for when your pup should be fed or walked, or how much food, etc, I will do exactly what you ask. If you have a certain route or play routine, I will oblige. All in all, I want to make you and your dog happy and become a trusted and loyal person in both of your lives! I also have 3 cats so I would also be able to help with your kitties as well!
About: I stop and play with every pet that I meet. I love animals and want to continue my journey with pet care. I am open to doing sitting and walking. I am open to walking in the mornings at anytime after 6am. The sittings will have to be scheduled more in advance as I do have a job. I live on campus so I’m not able to host animals but I am able to walk dogs that live close to my community and I’m able to dog sit if you live close.

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! My husband and I recently moved to the area and were in need of a sitter on very short notice. Amber and Dane were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and immediately made us feel comfortable leaving our pup in their care. Prior to drop-off, our dog developed a hot spot on his neck and had been placed in a cone and started on antibiotics by the vet. Amber and Dane were extremely knowledgeable and attentive when it came to caring for a dog with additional medical needs, and they kept me updated throughout his stay on how he was doing and healing. They were also incredibly understanding and supportive during our transition into a new area, which meant so much to us. On top of that, they have three beautiful dogs of their own, and my Frenchie absolutely loved being around them. You can truly tell they care deeply about animals, and they’ve absolutely turned us into long-term returning clients.”
“Kathleen took exceptional care of my fur baby this past weekend. She helped my boy acclimate with her two fur babies and sent me a lot of pictures of them playing together. Kathleen had the presence of mind to ask if fireworks bother him (NYE weekend) and gave him the medication we provided to aid Oliver a little. I will book with Kathleen again, it was a very positive first time experience with Rover.”
“I'm very picky about who I'll leave my 13-year old pup with. Michelle definitely put my mind at ease with her professionalism and expertise in caring for senior dogs. She is clearly committed to providing exceptional care for our 4-legged family members. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Choose Geneive when you want your dog to be loved and expertly cared for! This was our first time using Rover and we are so happy with the choice we made. Our dog, Kirby, had a fun, safe stay. Geneive’a dog, Lady, was very friendly with him and they enjoyed walks along with visits to the dog park. We received lots of photos and updates which helped us to relax and enjoy our time away.”
“Beth took great care of Max and sent updates throughout the entire stay. It looks like Max enjoyed his stay and we will definitely be booking again! Thank you, Beth!”
“Awesome sitter! Felt nervous trying Rover for the first time and he David 100% made me feel good about leaving my dog in his car. My dog felt so comfortable and happy at his house!!”
“Took Great care of my dog while providing constant updates. She also made him homemade treats from scratch. Definitely will leave my dog with her family again he enjoyed his stay and made friends.”
“They did a wonderful job with my girl! She was loved and it shows. I always worry about little with my girl but they reassured me and sent plenty of videos and photos :)”
“My old guy Henry had such a great time with Madison. She was super responsive, and made me feel very comfortable leaving him with a new sitter. She sent lots of pics and he looked right at home. We will definitely book again!”
“Lilly is truly a caring and compassionate pet sitter who treats animals like members of her own family. Every time Wheeler stays with her, I know he’s in loving hands. Her kids also spend time with the pets, adding to the warm, family-like environment. She frequently sends beautiful photos and keeps me updated on Wheeler’s activities and playtime, which gives me so much peace of mind. Her spacious backyard is perfect for dogs to run and play, and if the weather allows, she even takes them on walks or to the nearby park. She’s incredibly receptive to each pet’s individual needs and always goes the extra mile to help them feel at home. Wheeler absolutely loves staying with Lilly—he gets excited as soon as we pull up to her house, and sometimes doesn’t want to leave because he’s having such a great time! I now try to book monthly stays with her, simply because Wheeler enjoys it so much. I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for him. A true Gryffindor, Lilly responds to every challenge with courage and resolve. She would simply never abandon a quest or choose some other life without caring for pets!”
“This was the 1st time my cocoa was away from home. Normally I have someone stay at my house with my dogs but this isn't going to be the case this year. She got to do the doggy day care for a day to see how she will do. She did fine. She sat with Shannon in her office (I received a picture), she got along with her dogs. There were no complaints or concerns when my husband picked her up. She will continue to go for daycare until our vacation. Highly recommend Shannon, she's great!”
“Catina was wonderful with my dog. She sent me pictures and updates daily about how my dog was doing. He has separation anxiety and she made sure to take care of him like he was her own dog. My dog also enjoyed playing with Catina’s dog while she watched him. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dog while I was out of town.”
